Heureusement que j’ai dormi juste une nuit parce que l’insonorisation des chambres étaient un enfer …

I think the score for this place is too high. Booked an en-suite, no en-suites exist. The mattresses are foam and very loud and uncomfortable. There are no locks on the doors for any room, but there is a small locker for passports/money. Toilets/showers upstairs were not clean, but the staff did seem to be cleaning in the morning. Downstairs toilets were better. Good location for exploring Luang Prabang’s old town.

Good location but a bit hard to find since it’s down a side road. There is no locked door to the property and the door in my room didn’t even shut never mind lock so anyone could have just come in. It’s pretty quiet but nice enough. I had to change my arrival date before and staff ignored my messages

I don’t know where they got the good reviews from. location is the only positive thing. When I arrived they didn’t understand which one was my reservation (even though they had my passport with my name on it). They tried asking for more money (it was 4$ and they asked for 100k and then I said 88k and he said okok). Beds are thin and made of foam, super noisy when you move. The bathroom doesn’t drain well. The personnel was quite rude and didn’t speak any English. Avoid, even just for a n...

bathrooms facilities are good, bed is okay. the 4 bed room has plenty of space. breakfast is naff but it's free so you get what you're given. it seems like the staff are barely there but as long as you can check in it doesn't really matter. overall it isnt too bad if you're only there for a couple of nights

This hostel has an unbeatable location right across from the museum, next to Mount Phousi, and steps away from the night market! When I checked in, there were a few issues with mosquitoes and a smelly blanket, but the staff responded quickly and resolved everything. The showers and toilets were clean, with toilet paper always available. Breakfast was good, and there’s unlimited tea and coffee you can make anytime. The staff were helpful, and overall, I had a lovely stay.

Great location, good ac and an amazing banana pancake for breakfast! Wish they could give out early breakfast for those taking the slow boat.

I had a really nice stay here. Staff are helpful, good location, nice breakfast (banana pancake was very tasty) and pretty clean. Social area isn’t very big but I have no complaints so would recommend! Also water refill which is always a bonus.

Very chill and friendly hostel, the outside area is great for working or just hanging out. They don’t have room keys so for someone very concerned about safety, it might not be the right option. Lockers are available though
